London, July 8: England's victory over Sweden in the quarter final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup has assured England a place in the semi-finals and the fans are a bit too excited with the news. The whole country has burst into celebrations but the fans celebrations seem to be getting out of hand at some places as a video shows fans in London's Stratford "invading" a store of Swedish furniture brand Ikea and creating ruckus.
This is largely due to the fact that English fans feel that England is now in touching distance of winning the FIFA World Cup after 52 years. England last won the FIFA World Cup in 1966, when they were also the host.
The video, which has gone viral, also shows fans jumping wildly on the furniture and throwing things at an Ikea store. In a different but connected video, a security guard can be seen entering the shop to stop the hooliganism.
Here is the video of the wild celebrations by the England fans celebrating their teams' win over Sweden 2-1 on Saturday in the 2018 FIFA World Cup quater-finals clash in Russia:

A formal warning had to be issued by the administrative authorities as fans poured onto the streets in large numbers bringing the traffic and peace on the road, to a standstill. Many images have emerged from London and other parts of England showing fans 'wildly' celebrating teams victory over Sweden. But the most outrageous picture of fans' excesses show a London ambulance car getting trashed by England fans. There surely are better ways to celebrate, one would argue and perhaps, agree.
